I can usually pull for a break with them if I have a decent grip on the netting. Im probably in one of the few trades that actually take them off regularly, an electricity for example would generally only fit them, maybe cutting the odd one or two off now and then. When I sold grip wire lead weights, which are a PITA to package, I used to cable tie them together in pairs, probably using a 2000 cable ties per annum, but yes, I only used to fit them ! I don't sell leads any more as they are such a PITA and the fully costed margin is not great (compared to other products) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont like them because the bastids always try to take my fingers off on the folding blade 🙄🤣🤣 I have found the Bruce to be a reliable anchor.
